Chuck season three is back in January, plus a special message from Zachary Levi

CHUCK season three will be back on American TV screens from January 10, which is top news all round and not bad for a show that was nearly cut off in its prime.

For us Chuck fans in the UK, the Virgin1 press office have told me today that new Chuck will be broadcast over here in the first half of 2010, although an actual date has not been finalised yet. (Thanks to Melissa in the Virgin press office for coming back to so quickly.) So while it’s not as great as the Yanks have it, it is still pretty cool stuff.

In the meantime, here’s a preview video showing some of the upcoming action, as well as a special message from Zachary Levi – Chuck himself!
